Jeremiah 50:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:28

The voice of them that flee and escape out the land of
Babylon
The Jews that were captives in Babylon, upon the taking of it, took that opportunity to flee out Of it, and make their escape to their own land, which some of them might do before the proclamation of Cyrus; whose voice declaring to their brethren in Judea what God had done to Babylon, and rejoicing at it, was as if it was heard by the prophet in vision, or under a spirit of prophecy; this also is true of them who will be called out of mystical Babylon, and escape from thence, just before its destruction, ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of
his temple;
the vengeance which God took on the Chaldeans for their ill usage of his people, and for plundering and burning his temple; this the Jews, when they came to their own land, declared to their brethren there with joy and pleasure; and a like joy will be expressed when God shall avenge his people on antichrist, for his blasphemy against him, his name, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in it, ( Revelation 13:6 ) ( 18:20 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) .

Jeremiah 50:28 In-Context

26 Come against her from every side; throw open her granaries; pile her up like stalks of grain; totally destroy her; leave nothing intact.
27 Destroy all her bulls; prepare them for slaughter. How terrible for them! Their time has come, the day of reckoning.
28 A voice of fugitives and refugees, from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the retribution of the LORD our God because of what has been done to his temple.
29 Send the archers against Babylon, all who draw the bow! Surround her and let no one escape. Pay her back for her deeds; do to her what she's done to others. She has acted arrogantly toward the LORD, the holy one of Israel!
30 Therefore, her soldiers will fall in the streets; all her warriors will be silenced on that day, declares the LORD.
